It's been too long Dachshunds in love...DL Kraft card - 
Day 7 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

Afternoon folks - today is day 7 of my challenge and this time I have used the Happy Birthday Sausage stamp set from the For the Love of Stamps collection by Hunkydory.


 How I made this card:-

  • I got these stamps some time ago and this is the first card I have made with it.. There are the two facing dachshunds as part of the set so I stamped them on to some stamping card using Versafine Onyx Black and whilst they were still dry, used some clear embossing powder to emboss them. 
  • I coloured the dogs in using shades of brown alcohol markers trying to give them some different colours to them.
  • I then added the 3 hearts using the tiny heart in the set and stamped them using red Tim Holtz Distress inks. As it is such a small stamp, I just used my finger to stamp them.
  • I cut out two panels (one in card, the other in paper) in white using the Tattered Lace Torn Edge Tall Slim rectangle dies and glued the paper one inside a DL Kraft card.
  • Using some Altnew and Tim Holtz Distress inks, I then coloured the panel so that it looked it was outside (using some torn paper to give clouds and grass effects).
  • Whilst allowing it to dry, I then cut out the dogs and heart and stuck it on to the panel using a tape pen.
  • I then stamped the larger heart on to some more card using Festive Berries Distress Ink and then drew some of the colour in to it using a waterbrush.
  • The string is also one of the stamps and so stamped the cords leading from the dogs' tails and added the hearts using some foam pads.
  • The sentiment is also part of the set and so I stamped it on to pre-cut panel in the Onyx Black Versafine ink and edged it with a brown alcohol marker.
  • Finally I glued the whole panel on to the DL Kraft card and placed the sentiment in the centre of it towards the bottom.
  • I left the insert blank so you can add any message you like.

And there you are - a different kind of card that you could give for Valentine's day - but of course the sentiment could be whatever one you want!

Mother's Day flowers card

Mother's Day flowers card Hi Craft addicts! I really love using Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons and so I made this card with one of the designs I created. How I made this card:- I used Tim Holtz Ranger Yupo paper as the base for the flower design - I used his Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown Distress Crayons - just added a few flicks of colour to the paper and then quickly used my finger to spread it a bit...  I repeated the process several times, changing the size of the flowers slightly. Once I was happy with them, I then used a damp waterbrush to fade the colours out a bit. I also used some of the Ranger Blue and Green Distress Crayons to add a faded background to it. I trimmed the panel so it measured 3" x 4.5" and edged it with a Black alcohol marker. I then glued it to some Kraft card (American Crafts as it has a linen effect to it) and cut it so there was a slightly wider border around it. I attached the whole panel to the front of a 5"...

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card Hi Craft Addicts! Today's card is a result of using a background I have created myself using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons along with dies from Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me. How I made this card:- I had been playing with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to make the flowery background (it measures approx 5" square as the card itself is a 6" one - to do it, I used Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, experimenting with the "strokes"  I used - it took a bit of time to get the effect right - I used normal stamping paper this time rather than Yupo as it gives a totally different effect. I also used a paintbrush and some water to blend them in even more. Once I was happy with what I had done, I then added some green alcohol marker to create the stalks and some faded blue and yellow spots dotted around the pattern. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. ...

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card - Day 110 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card -  Day 110 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this Birthday card - especially colouring in the background which I am pleased with how it turned out. How I made this card:- I had previously cut out a few of the Meerkats (a Tattered Lace die) using various cardstocks and thought that this Kraft card one would work well on a desert background. I therefore cut a piece of smooth white card to 110x145mm approximately and started to colour it in. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to do this-  Tea Dye, Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge are the main ones used - making it darker at both the top and the bottom. I also added a hint of green to the centre of the panel. I then cut out the oval label panel in the middle of it (I think it was either a Tonic Studios or Tattered Lace die) - I also cut a similar panel using a darker Kraft cardstock. I stuck the large layer on to the fro...
